y'know, I realize how many records I failed to listen to when you bring up a list like this and the only two I can swear I've heard are Bowie and Judas Priest.
"Scary monsters--super freaks" and "Victim of chaaa-a-angeeeeeeezzzz!" are the only lyrics I can think of...plus: "Beneath a gas lamp...where the air is cold and damp..." etc.
I bought Bowie's "Changes 2" from the local mall, as I remember, because the cover was different than anything else in the store (same reason I bought the DRI disc while in Boston). I bought Priest's "Sad Wings of Destiny" because I dug "You've Got Another Comin'," plus Dawn M. told me it was cool.
"The Hellion/Electric Eye" is still badass. I've got a movie script about Hell where the opening scene is based on it.
Let there be no mistake: you are Godlike to post a list like that. Fuck indie-snobs. Any man that listens to Burma and Priest is a true fan of rock music. Bless ye.
I play an indie snob on occassion, sometimes after I play an April Wine or Saxon album.
My next Priest purchase will indeed be "Screaming For Vengeance" and Dawn M. was right most of the time. Her only fault was believing that she could change Blaise, Lambert, and the other West K scurves. Stay tuned for a full review of "Sad Wings Of Destiny."
